Explain it to me

<It's got to be carefully taught (via Oliver Willis)


This is a sincere and honest question...so please take it in the spirit with which it's given.

I'd really like to know what the big deal is about gay marriage. I understand that it's not "traditional". But why is that such a big deal? I'd especially like to hear from those persons who advocate for laws making such unions illegal.

I'm looking for thoughtful and intellectual points, please. And I'd appreciate it if people would keep the ad hominem out of the comments. I really don't understand why people are so foursquare against the idea of gays marrying and I'd like it explained.

Thanks in advance.
